Time Is Money™
Welcome to Time Is Money™!
Your goal is to lead your people into the literal actual future. Like, literally one second from right now.
Use the time measurement devices on the left to control and speed up the passage of time. Careful though, as each purchase will rewind the world's clock by the duration equal to its cost.

IT'S BACK AFTER MORE THAN 4 YEARS!? Too bad it's a small update :( edit : so there's now offline progress don't know how that slipped by the radar I should probably play a game when there's an update before jumping to conclusions
what happens when I reach level 9/11
banger game!
nooooo i wanna play this so bad but im stuck in a time loop in the classical era
How did you comment without Wi-Fi? (JOKE PLEASE DO NOT TAKE LITERALLY⚠️)
how do i reset after closing new game window lol
The option to advance to a new era seems to be broken. It doesn't show a progress bar, and I got the notification that I've reached the far future but for some reason I still am not able to advance past the industrial era.
bro what
Hello Vsauce Michael here what is time? Like really...
Short and sweet. Really liked that you added 3d visualisation themes that are unique per era.
Ok... A few nitpicks, but this is one of THE BEST clicker games i have ever played.
Deleted post
it is not
i did this by accident 😭😭😭
i reseted my game by accident 😭😭😭
100, QUINTILLION, YEARS, YES, IM NOT JOKING.
10, QUINTILLION, YEARS, YES, IM NOT JOKING.
1, QUINTILLION, YEARS, YES, IM NOT JOKING.
My game just got reset with no apparent reason. What happened?
This just leads perfectly into the next comment lol but seriously you probably reset the game on accident because you got to the Future and there's an option to reset
The sun has collapsed into a white dwarf and the earth has been engulfed by its red giant phase.
if i just sat my date to 100bc do i win lmao
10,000
I don't know if this counts as beating the game but...
...I know I can go farther but this is about as far as my patience is willing to take me right now. Might come back to this tho
Well done! And congrats for reaching this far without buying any of the auto-clocks. If I can tease you a little bit, you're only 35,000 clicks away from the "Really Far Future" popup :)
I already got that popup a while ago, I think got 3 popups total including the one that says I beat the game (iirc)
bro stop advertising
He is not the Creator so I don't know if this would count as advertising or just a sponsor but I do understand what you're talking about but the game is not by the person and I don't even think they're affiliated with it well not like the game they make a bunch of comments but they're not affiliated with the Creator
tbh if not for the graphics, this game would be one of THE games I've played here ;)
Cool game! I can't stop thinking if ppl will play this a thousands of years from now...
Anyway, it's a nice clock, also - once you have your taskbar hidden. LOL
Well 3 years from now definitely
how to reset progress/
really addictive! only took me not even an hour (including every other era before it except the beginning one, I slept before I finished that era)
LOL
Adding more content would be awesome, maybe more eras?
Postearth Era- We leave Earth and colonize mars and more planets.
Ultramatter Era- We start using Antimatter commonly.
Wormhole Era- Wormholes start being used.
Cosmic Era- We become a T3 Kardachev.
Multiverses, megaverses... after that.
Even more creative prestiges would be welcome too!
9.3/10 to 6.8/10, time engages you, but a bit too fast.
I feel like the only way you could do those is if you added a space background but then what would you put for the things just a bunch of spaceships you got to think like you're the developer before you recommend things :)
But for quite a reachable new prestige player the Big rip the other two ends of the universe I don't know how to describe it take too long (heat death) or are too variable (big crunch)
cool idea!
If only there was a way for the game to continue past 275,760 AD, perhaps until the end of the universe, and beyond. (Date would need to be stored as just the year, more eras would need to be added, and maybe a second layer of prestige at 10^100 years from now)
I guess we could use BigInt to store the timestamp in seconds, but we'd need to find a different way to format the date then. Right now we use Intl.DateTimeFormat and the Gregorian calendar. But who knows what the calendars of the far future will look like! :)
Love the look of it and how all the building rise up. Good fun :)
I was curious what would happen if I reached a max int value, but the game finally stopped counting at a curious number.
Then I went to leave a comment, so I had to log in, and the game started again, at an earlier date - until it froze again at this one:
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE AND HOW IS THIS GAME AFFECTING IT???
Dates are limited to 100,000,000 days before or after the epoch of 1 January 1970 AD 00:00:00 UTC for precision reasons. You seem to be hitting this future limit (275760 AD), causing your date to stop increasing.
The dates stop earlier than that because adding the time per game tick to the current date goes past the limit.
Yep, that's exactly what's happening. Or, to put it differently: according to the ECMA-262 standard, there's no future beyond 275,760 AD ;)
Thanks! Curiosity quelled. That's really interesting.
This is now fixed in version 1.1 of the game. Technically, there's still a limit but it's very very very very very high :)
Do you mean that the limit is so high that the heat death of the universe (and even the collapse of the false vacuum, see https://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.08124.pdf) would have occurred by the time said limit is reached?
10 quintillion years
I understand that this is a huge accomplishment but this is near completely unrelated but this does tell us that the limit is not a 64-bit integer so that's neat I guess
9 quintillion
